Avalanche: how FXNOD's Deriv Accumulator bot works

Avalanche at a glance

What Avalanche trades

Avalanche trades one contract only: an Accumulator from Deriv's Accumulators family, at a growth rate of 5%. While each tick stays within a range Deriv sets around the tick before it, the position's value grows by 5% a tick. If one tick lands outside the range, the position is knocked out and the whole stake is lost. Avalanche closes the position at a take profit of 3.5% of the stake, and that take profit is also the session's profit target. An Accumulator has no fixed length: it stays open until it is closed or knocked out. Deriv sets the payout, and each trade's result is listed on the run page.

When Avalanche enters a trade

Avalanche uses the highest growth rate of the Accumulator bots, 5%, so its take profit of 3.5% of the stake is reached after very few ticks. Deriv sets the narrowest range for this rate, so a tick leaves it most easily.

When a position reaches its take profit, it is closed and the session ends at its target. A tick outside the range first knocks it out and loses the stake.

Avalanche holds one trade at a time: it looks for the next entry only after the last contract has closed. The entry rule sets when the bot trades and how often. It does not make any single trade more likely to win.

How Avalanche sizes its stake

Avalanche uses a flat stake. Every trade of a session is placed at the plan's starting stake, after a win and after a loss alike. It does not use Martingale.

A position is opened only while its stake fits in what is left of the stop loss. On Avalanche the stop loss is two stakes, so a session opens at most two positions that lose: after the second, nothing is left to stake and the session ends.

The plans of Avalanche

Avalanche is not given a stake, a stop loss and a profit target one by one. You choose a plan, and the plan sets all of them together. Plans are named by their stop loss, which is two stakes. The profit target is the take profit of a single position, 3.5% of the stake, so the first position that reaches it ends the session. The amounts are in the currency of the Deriv account the bot trades.

When a session ends

• The profit target is reached. The bot stops with the session's profit at or above the plan's target.
• The stop loss is reached. No stake is placed that could take the session's loss past the plan's stop loss.
• You stop it. The Stop button on the run page ends the session at any time.

Avalanche runs on FXNOD's servers, not in your browser. Closing the page or switching off your device does not stop it, and does not switch off its limits. Starting it again after a session has ended begins a new session with the full plan.
